Subject: [Pocket-linux-micro] Kernel 2.6.7 no init found

Hi all,

   I've been reading the Chapter 2 of your manual and i've made the two first
diskettes with a new kernel 2.6.7 : downloaded sources from kernel.org,
compiled it without any modules and only with the following options : 386
processor, Floppy disk, RAM disk, Second extended (ext2) filesystem, Console on
virtual terminal ;
   Then I couldn't find the boot.b file in my /boot, but i've read that it has
been removed from the lastests lilos (is that right ?), mine is something
ending by "5.8";
   I've filled up the root diskette with the bash binary, symlinked sh and all
...
   On reboot, I write "bootdisk init=/bin/sh", the kernel boots and asks me for
the root disk. I change the diskette and then it tries to boot but it gives me
a "Kernel Panic, no init found , try passing ....". Same result if i try
init=/bin/bash...

   I've, then, download the two images of diskette from your site and tested
them with best result : it boots up to the prompt (NORMAL !)

   So, my first question is : can i make the pocket linux with a kernel 2.6.7 ?
My second is, do i need to copy more onto the boot floppy ?
May I pass another "init=" option to the kernel (or in lilo.conf) ?

Thanks a lot for this guide !!
Keep having fun with Linux

Waiting for any advice to unstuck me :\

Bye
Yohann aka PhilGoude
